The Buffybot was the name given to two separate robotic replicas of Buffy Summers, the first created by Warren Mears at the behest of Spike for use as a sex toy, and the second created by Andrew Wells as a decoy to protect Buffy from an assassination attempt.

Biography Edit

The original Buffybot was built by Warren as a sex toy for Spike, who at the time had developed an obsessive attraction for Buffy. Therefore, the Buffybot was initially programmed to be in love with Spike and do anything to please him. Buffy's friends mistook the robot for her and Buffy later posed as the Buffybot to find out whether Spike betrayed her and her sister, Dawn, to the hellgod Glory, presenting him with a kiss when she discovered the lengths he went to protect them. Xander Harris and Anya Jenkins found the deactivated Buffybot in the basement of The Magic Box and the group decided to use it to make the first strike and distract Glory from the real Buffy. After a few minutes of battle, the Bot was decapitated by Glory and the real Buffy then revealed herself.

Following Buffy's death, the Buffybot was used for patrolling to ensure the underworld did not discover the Slayer's death. While the demon community thought Buffy was alive, they were less likely to strike, out of fear. Willow Rosenberg also reprogrammed it for Slayer duties, but the original programming occasionally resurfaced, which both pained and irritated Spike. Its impersonation also ensured that Dawn, lacking a legal guardian in Sunnydale with both Buffy and their mother dead, could stay in town with the Scooby Gang and allowed the group to live and operate out of the Summers home. Unfortunately, one vampire discovered the secret when fighting with it and brought a demon biker gang to Sunnydale to tear the place apart. The demons destroyed the Buffybot by tearing it limb from limb, pulling it apart with motorcycles. Before "dying", the Buffybot revealed to Dawn that the real Buffy had returned from the dead.

Several years later, after the end of magic, Andrew created a new Buffybot to protect Buffy from an assassination attempt. Buffy's mind was transferred into the robot and it lived in San Francisco while the real Buffy remained safe.
